The funny thing about Goodkind Wibble Send a noteboard - 02/08/2011 07:05:06 PM
Is that he so polarises people, and is the perfect author to ask the question: What defines success and/or a good author/book/series.

He's sold well over 25million books, quite literally has publishers eating out his hands wantign novels, he recently signed a new 3 book deal with TOR. Has a rabid fanbase...

...is this not what every author wants? Does this not define success?

And yet. His writing is SHIT, and i've yet to actually meet anyone in person who likes him. I gave up halfway through the 1st book. Total mindfuck how he is a success.

Let's see if you are old enough to read this post....Or Goodkind is still a Jackass! Beqi - 02/08/2011 01:59:54 AM 9523 Views
What a stupid fucking douchebag pile of shit. Tom - 02/08/2011 04:35:43 AM 1540 Views
I toally agree. I only wish I could say I was wise enough to avoid his books all together. *NM* Beqi - 02/08/2011 07:40:54 AM 664 Views
He's better than Paolini... Tavi - 02/08/2011 04:48:58 AM 1617 Views
I haven't heard of Paolini being such a douche... Beqi - 02/08/2011 07:42:08 AM 1498 Views
So? What harm is he doing? Cannoli - 02/08/2011 06:58:56 AM 1924 Views
book 6? Was that the second or third time Ricky got kidnapped/changed his captors way of thinking? Beqi - 02/08/2011 07:08:45 AM 1551 Views
But then you have to retract the rip-off assertion Cannoli - 02/08/2011 01:58:28 PM 1559 Views
Er. You didn't answer her question: Why was Book 6 so groundbreaking? beetnemesis - 02/08/2011 02:07:18 PM 1523 Views
That was just a joke about her giving up the series. I didn't even recall which one was book 6 Cannoli - 02/08/2011 02:28:06 PM 1571 Views
Derp. Sorry, it was too early in the morning for subtle humor. beetnemesis - 02/08/2011 07:17:23 PM 1480 Views
It's funny, though, because you hit the nail on the head with your random choice of number. Legolas - 02/08/2011 08:11:58 PM 1542 Views
I agree with all that LadyLorraine - 03/08/2011 12:15:15 AM 1540 Views
Isn't that the one where Richard carves a statue that is so rad it inspires a rebellion? Werthead - 03/08/2011 12:02:10 PM 1548 Views
well to be fair, it's more complicated than that LadyLorraine - 03/08/2011 05:27:59 PM 1437 Views
No, it's not. That is exactly what happens. *NM* MightyYT - 04/08/2011 08:42:23 PM 745 Views
That's the one. Legolas - 03/08/2011 06:10:57 PM 1530 Views
As well as being the most overtly anti-communist & anti-religious of the series. Cannoli - 06/08/2011 02:52:52 AM 1562 Views
but if Hitler painted really well... LadyLorraine - 06/08/2011 03:44:52 AM 1384 Views
You assume I care that much. I enjoy pointing out the absurdness of this author. Beqi - 02/08/2011 07:02:42 PM 1650 Views

No, definitely not. beetnemesis - 02/08/2011 07:19:25 PM 1463 Views
I read all the way through the end, and I thought the last couple books redeemed it in my eyes LadyLorraine - 03/08/2011 12:11:56 AM 1407 Views
The revelation that Terry-um, I mean Richard, is God was retarded? For reals? *NM* Cannoli - 03/08/2011 02:14:00 AM 697 Views
*shrug* I just didn't like the ending LadyLorraine - 03/08/2011 04:01:40 AM 1581 Views

Goodkind is still porn. rebelaessedai - 03/08/2011 08:45:14 PM 1566 Views

Goodkind is a jackass with a complete disregard for people who think any different than him. MightyYT - 04/08/2011 08:53:39 PM 1648 Views
A passage from Terry Goodkind was a "bad prose competition" selection at readercon this year. Vivien - 05/08/2011 03:29:21 AM 2238 Views
I find Terry Goodkind inspirational. ranagrande - 06/08/2011 02:08:07 PM 1530 Views
